RaymondMILLMr Raymond Mill passed away peacefully in the early hours of Tuesday morning, February 2, at Highfield Hall Nursing Home, aged 75. Ray leaves his wife June, children Kerry, Joanne, Carolyn and Paul, grandchildren, great-granddaughter, his sister Pauline, brother-in-law Joe, and their family. Originally from Manchester, Ray and June moved to Helmshore in 1973. Ray worked as a Rep in the clothing and footwear trade, eventually running his own markets and shops. This led to his biggest venture yet and that was landlord of the Forester’s Arms, Haslingden. Ray was well known for putting on many events in the pub and supporting local charities. He loved pool, darts, running and was a lifelong fan of Manchester City. His 17 years in the pub were his most enjoyable times and he made many good friends. In 2012 he had a severe stroke, which left him unable to carry on the job he loved. Ray then spent over eight years in Highfield Hall, which became his home. Ray’s funeral will take place at Accrington Crematorium on Tuesday, February 23, officiated by Father Andrew. Due to current restrictions numbers are limited. Family flowers only. Donations in memory of Ray to the Stroke Association c/o funeral director Caroline Holden-Dewhurst of Johnson, Durning and Woods Funeral Services.
